If confidentiality is of concern, the applicant should bring the documents to the Embassy in a sealed envelope; the Embassy will respect your privacy and not make this information available to anyone.

Each applicant may schedule only one interview appointment. If you would like another appointment date, you must cancel the original appointment and make a new one. You will have to cancel all previous appointments and make a new one.
